Evidence
"Mahdaoui’s work Calligramm on Papyrus (2004, Indian ink and acrylic painting on papyrus, 60 x 60 cm) is representative..."
Remarks
The piece looks like both a manuscript and a calligram, where the central circular form is the element most reminiscent of a calligram (p. 58). Mahdaoui's work is a contemporary negotiation of the word/image tension historically explored in Islamic calligraphy (p. 61).
